Requesting Formula and Foods

WIC can provide noncontract formula and modified food packages when needed.* Before requesting a noncontract formula, check the list of WIC contract formulas below to see if WIC already offers a formula that is appropriate for your patient. If there is not a suitable choice, OR if you need to request any type of formula for a patient over 12 months of age (contract or noncontract), you’ll need to complete a request form.

Monthly Formula and Food Benefits

WIC is a supplemental food program. This page lists how much formula and food participants receive each month. Most infants who are not breastfed will require more formula than WIC is able to provide each month. Maximum amounts of formula and food are noted below.
